First Coast Finds: The Donut Shoppe

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Customers sing the praises of the Donut Shoppe on University Boulevard.

"They have just the most fantastic donuts," says donut lover, Kate Bueeks. "We've been eating these donuts in our family for 47 years," said customer Beth Leavitt.

For more than a half century this landmark legend has been satisfying the sweet tooth of Jacksonville breakfast crowd on University Boulevard in Arlington. David Unkelbach bought the business 11 years ago after he worked here as a kid.

"This was my first job when I was 15 years old," said Unkelbach.

They start the donut making process at 9 p.m. the night before by rolling out the dough, cutting it, and frying up the finished product.
